Misfiring, vulnerable, but they won - its a lovely habit to be in, particularly at the pointy end to the season!Nah. Pies were seriously misfiring today. The longer the season's gone on, the more vulnerable they've looked.
Despite all that tho eh, Carna Pies
You've got a completely open field in terms of choosing who to support! Do you have a favourite aussie? find out who they barrack for. Tame Impala are Freo! Ange Postecoglou is a Carlton man! Do you irrationally hate Queensland? Dont pick Brisbane or the Gold Coast sides. Do you love blue n white stripes? Pick North melbourne!
They are nicknamed the kangaroos though and thats almost irresistible
Well, I used to like watching Neighbours as a kid, always been a big fan of INXS, and have an old school mate who lives just north of Sydney now.You've got a completely open field in terms of choosing who to support!

Actually, don't, not North, its a miserable experience supporting them
but with the draft system etc, its rare for a team to be shite for too long, you can always hope for an uptick in performance somewhere or other. I picked Fremantle cos i landed in Perth many years ago, had a look at the two home teams, and one was a smug, preening, successful bunch of arseholes, and the other was a downtrodden underdog who played in an excellent shade of purple. Its a no brainer.
24 years later and we've had previous little success (one grand final defeat, basically) but for six months of the year they're my lads. You can fault them for many things but they will always absolutely run their bollocks off and i appreciate that
I believe Essendon also play at the MCG. #justsayin...
As my son is a huge cricket fan, and is hoping to go out to Australia for 6 months next year to play, maybe I should tie my colours to the mast of Carlton as they play at the MCG...and navy blue is my favourite colour
)
A bit like the Browns & Maple Leafs, the history of clubs always seems to be a factor in my choosing. Just reading about Carlton being one of the original 4, so thats good enough for me. Randomly, Carlton have just kicked off against Sydney Swans, and I've got the live radio commentary going through my PC.I believe Essendon also play at the MCG. #justsayin
(But they don't play in blue
Have you by any chance got access to BT Sport (or TNT Sport as we must now call it)? They're showing it live. I watch most of the Collingwood games on there
Yeah, at work though now so cant watch! I usually tune in on a Saturday morning before anyone else gets up, if I see a game on
South Freo doggies! Love em, that’s my WAFL team right there
No. I haven't actually seen a game for ages. I'm not really a fan, it's just that if anyone asks if I support an Aussie Rules team I say "Essendon", because that's who I cheered, sorry, 'barracked' for (LOVE that expression!) when Channel 4 showed it. Yer average plastic Big Six fan is a better fan than me!
An interesting point: AFL is just about the only code in remote Aboriginal communities, such as Central Australia. They play a fast and furious, yet elegant, brand of footy that is fun to watch!!!
i know i'm a little biased perhaps, but coming to the sport unanointed, i cant imagine a single decent human taking the drug cheat shitbag weagle bastards ahead of the saintly, handsome, wonderful dockers
Nice one!!
